BEWARE!
At NJ our driver knocked down the tubes randomly from the wall and we were penalized for herding. We had no tubes in our possession. We were leading 10 to 4 but lost on penalties for herding.

I suggest that you get a complete clarification of this rule from the head referee before trying this. Also for those referees out there if you could clarify the finer points of this particular play with the drivers and other referees, it would be helpful.
Consistency is critical for this rule, because it is such a borderline case.

Good luck to everyone in the weeks ahead!
